Who says Men can't accessorise?
From our colab with for their Durban Fashion Fair collection "Isambulo", here is our headpiece giving "kingly" vibes. Handbeaded, with crystal dangles and fabric floral accents, it complements the beautifully handcrafted creations. (That rust and white crosshatch pattern... all hand done... it's not a print).

"MONOCHROME AND MERLOT" is a celebration of contrast and passion, where bold black, crisp white and deep wine red tones intertwine to create a love story that is equal parts modern minimalism and sultry romance.
Set against clean lines and rich textures this styled shoot evokes the elegance of a contemporary bride unafraid to embrace depth, drama and desire.
From the merlot soaked florals, to the sleek silhouettes, every detail whispers sophistication with an edge"
When I started putting together this shoot I knew I wanted drama, but with a thoroughly modern feel. Different bridal looks, bold colour and of course the accessories to go with.
Here is a peek at all the magic that our team of vendors put together.
I will be doing some accessory focused posts soon.

I love this quote. Alexander McQueen will forever be an inspiration to me, because he showed who he was as a designer through and through and created some of the most iconic and creative looks in fashion. To me this quote encourages us to show who we are through fashion, whether it is our day to day, special occasions or even our wedding day.

It doesn't have to be loud and bold, if that is not who you are. It is cutting through the noise of what people want you to be and express yourself as you are, or as you dream to be (fashion is aspirational too!).
As a brand Magpie Calls is alllll about this. I want to create pieces that you love, that express who you are, and show off your beauty in whatever way makes you shine. Accessories often get overlooked, but they can make the most simple look, into something that really tells us who you are and your point of view.
Is it playful and fun? Bright and colourful? Classic and timeless? Bold and fashion forward? Romantic and whimsical? Minimalistic and clean?
Having something made or bought that is unique and custom (even our ready made designs), allows you to really think of the details, blend your personalities and styles and help you to show up as the best version of YOU!

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK!
It has literally been a dream of mine to see my creations on a runway like this.
When Carita messaged me to ask if I had some accessories to go with her NYFW collection I said YES immediately. Firstly because its a dream to work with a designer of her quality, AND because how amazing is this opportunity!
Thank you dear Carita for your trust in my work and for letting me come along on this wonderful, crazy experience.

Here are some photos from the runway, featuring various crowns, headbands, combs and hair pins. I will do individual posts over the next while.

Thank you to the team below and the models who showcased Carita's beautiful designs and my headpieces with sass and style.
Magpie Calls is going global!

Making dreams come true since 2012!
I work in the dream sphere... the occasions and special, memory making moments in your life. The events and celebrations that you dream about, plan for, and keep close to your heart. My creations are more than just something you purchase, they are created especially for you, even those that are ready-made have their forever home and ideal wearer in mind.
Accessories are often the last thing that people think about when curating an outfit, but the really are truly that cherry on top, the frosting to your cupcake, the decorations to your christmas tree, the flowers to your table. That finishing touch that puts YOUR personal stamp onto how you present to the world.

Let me be part of those dreams becoming reality and the stories of your life.

Reminiscing about our Elf bride Rainbow and her Custom crown. A unique and beautiful piece for a special day to be remembered.
I love seeing how my creations fit into your event or wedding, and how the whole look comes together.
If typical bridal looks are not your thing... I got you!
